OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by momof4 on January 30, 2013 at 6:52pm: They also hit the local mall and do a little shopping! We went there and my daughter got a fresh haircut and bought a couple of outfits. Remember what Kim said about sending too much. But my daughter bought a large duffle bag on base. Her bags were sooooo heavy when she came home on leave. But that didn't stop her.

Comment by KimD0709 on January 30, 2013 at 6:44pm: SoCal, I started sending boxes within 1 week of my son arriving in Pensacola. I've sent him clothes, shoes, beef jerkey, nuts, cookies, body wash, CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, everything. So, you can wait 3 weeks, or you can do it right away. Just remember, they won't be there forever, so don't send tons of stuff she won't be able to leave behind. I'd send 3 outfits MAX.. Maybe some PJs, underwear, etc.

Comment by SoCal Ohana on January 30, 2013 at 1:21pm: When my daughter is in A School will I be able to send her a small box with a few civilian clothing items? What do you think- maybe 3 weeks in or so?

Comment by CruAn on January 29, 2013 at 6:22pm: I believe my son can take his car. If I read right it has something to do with being in the state the car is registered in. But that presents a new problem with how to get it there & back home again. It's in storage now and that might be where it stays.

Comment by momof4 on January 28, 2013 at 11:40pm: CruAn- After my daughter got to Pensacola she classed up after her first week. We live in Brevard County and decided to drive up for the weekend before she got too busy and took her clothes and what not. Glad we did. She found out where she would head after C school while there. She liked being in P'cola. But she said it sucked not having transportation. But eventually someone had a car and they were able to get off base here and there.

Comment by striplingwarriormom on January 28, 2013 at 6:31pm: My son is graduating 2/1/13. Ship 12, Div 086. Don't know codes well, but he is going to Air Traffic School for 5 months according to his petty officer. A few more days. There is so much excitement in the air!! I love it.

Comment by Valtameri on January 28, 2013 at 6:21pm: Nice to see so much activity on this group!

Comment by CruAn on January 28, 2013 at 6:16pm: cbc mom & momof4; Thanks for the help. Surfing the net wasn't very informative. I read 4 weeks basic then 2 weeks specific. Then whatever the navy decides. We're from Fl & P'cola is a 5 hr drive for us. I'm just trying to prepare for the options.

Comment by cbc mom on January 28, 2013 at 1:26am: CruAn- C school can be anywhere. It will depend on what your son will be working on - jets or helos and which squadron he will be attached to. C school can be in Norfolk, Oceana, Lenmore, P'cola, San Diego, etc.

Comment by Gerald's Mom(ship03 div154) on January 27, 2013 at 11:24pm: My son leaves Feb 19 for bc and is going to A school in Pensacola after that. Does anyone know whow long A school is for.
